Abstract

This paper will discuss the categories of race, body, gender and sexuality based on the political being of rapper and
performer Linn da Quebrada. Linn is a Brazilian artist whose songs and performances subvert the universal “alpha male”
standard of the funk and rap scene. Her voice targets society’s heteronormativity, with lyrics that explore the feminine beyond
its biological aspect, exploring the category of woman from abject bodies (Butler, 2019) – trans, non-medicalized, effeminate
and queer bodies. Based on a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive methodology, this documentary analysis investigates
Linn’s plurality, who uses art as a political instrument to advocate for the feminine and the TLGB community. The study
explores the alterity of those defended and quoted by Linn’s music, articulating her perspective with concepts of authors such
as Judith Butler, Michel Foucault, Patricia Hill Collins, etc.
